16U TN Xplosion Fastpitch, based in Franklin, TN, just south of Nashville, is a travel softball team entering its 10th season this fall. Our program is focused on developing skills, hard work, sportsmanship, accountability, achieving potential, and team. The athletes on the roster are working to play collegiate softball, and the entire Xplosion program is centered on helping their athletes achieve that goal through hard work and competitive scheduling. Since 2006, the Xplosion program has signed over 30 of its athletes to D1 softball programs. The 16U Xplosion Fastpitch organization is a year-round program whose coaches have over 16 years of playing experience including secondary and collegiate experience and over 21 years of coaching experience. The club has access to the indoor and outdoor facilities for conditioning, training, and playing necessary to build strong, competent athletes working to get ready to compete at the collegiate level.

The team is moving to their first year of 16U competition for the Fall 2013/Spring 2014 season and will hold their annual, open tryouts at the location noted at the end of this posting on the following dates:

REVISED TIME/LOCATION FOR SATURDAY DUE TO WEATHER NOTED BELOW IN RED!!!!!

If needed, individual and small-group tryouts can also be accommodated on additional dates and times.

Primarily '97 and '98 birth-year players are welcome and encouraged to attend tryouts, and all positions will be evaluated. Past extended experience with an established travel fastpitch softball team competing at the A or B level will potentially be a plus, and interested athletes must have advanced defensive, hitting, speed, strength, and agility skills. Please contact us early if you are interested in attending tryouts as we usually evaluate 35-50 athletes each year for 11 roster spots.

We will play 5-7 tournaments this fall and approximately 7-8 tournaments in the Spring of 2014 including multiple College Showcases and A-level/ASA tournaments.

If you have any questions and/or have an interested athlete, please contact Bryan Richter @ 615.477.6160 or @ midtndiamondjaxx@bellsouth.net. Also, please visit our team website @ www.eteamz.com/tnxplosion98. All inquiries will be kept confidential.

Thank you for your interest in the Xplosion organization and in our team.
